Shadows Testo
Testo Shadows
I see shadows on the hill
Up beside the old saw mill
Where my people were killed
I see shadows on the hill
I see the shadows, I see the gallows
What happens in the deep washes in the shallows
They don’t wanna speak about the first battles
They can only see when they’re lookin down the barrel
I see the shadows, I hear the shots
I feel the spirit from the fight that never stopped
They wanna talk about how far we got
Where the bodies dropped they built a fuckin parking lot
And they call that survival
Put us on a mission, force fed us bibles
They put statues on our land just to worship false idols
Cuffs on our hands just to keep us in the cycle
Blood on their hands
Bodies at their feet
And as a warning they gon hang em from the trees
Named for the banks, rivers and streets
Nah the shadows never leave no justice no peace
I see shadows on the hill
Up beside the old saw mill
Where my people were killed
I see shadows on the hill
I’m the product of resistance, I embody who survived
I’m the strength of that spirit, I’m the voice of who have died
Who the fuck are you to civilize?
Nah we can’t rely what you recall I hear your words I see your lies
And in the dead of night you can hear those babies cry
You can feel those eyes from the banks where they lay beside
Feel it in your spine when you know ya not alone
Shine bright for the shadows make it home
In around the granite stones
They forever be alone
Their killers get off free
But their shadows never leave
I see shadows on the hill
Up beside the old saw mill
Where my people were killed
I see shadows on the hill
I see shadows on the hill
Up beside the old saw mill
Where my people were killed
I see shadows on the hill
Up beside the old saw mill
Where my people were killed
I see shadows on the hill
I see the shadows, I see the gallows
What happens in the deep washes in the shallows
They don’t wanna speak about the first battles
They can only see when they’re lookin down the barrel
I see the shadows, I hear the shots
I feel the spirit from the fight that never stopped
They wanna talk about how far we got
Where the bodies dropped they built a fuckin parking lot
And they call that survival
Put us on a mission, force fed us bibles
They put statues on our land just to worship false idols
Cuffs on our hands just to keep us in the cycle
Blood on their hands
Bodies at their feet
And as a warning they gon hang em from the trees
Named for the banks, rivers and streets
Nah the shadows never leave no justice no peace
I see shadows on the hill
Up beside the old saw mill
Where my people were killed
I see shadows on the hill
I’m the product of resistance, I embody who survived
I’m the strength of that spirit, I’m the voice of who have died
Who the fuck are you to civilize?
Nah we can’t rely what you recall I hear your words I see your lies
And in the dead of night you can hear those babies cry
You can feel those eyes from the banks where they lay beside
Feel it in your spine when you know ya not alone
Shine bright for the shadows make it home
In around the granite stones
They forever be alone
Their killers get off free
But their shadows never leave
I see shadows on the hill
Up beside the old saw mill
Where my people were killed
I see shadows on the hill
I see shadows on the hill
Up beside the old saw mill
Where my people were killed
I see shadows on the hill
